This special sweet potato pudding recipe is from Leneice North Talmadge´s The Sweet Potato Cookbook. I like to top this with toasted walnuts to add another layer of goodness. Sometimes a recipe just lends itself to creating tradition. This wonderful Christmas Pudding is one of them. It's something nice to serve on New Year's Day.

8. Dredge the fruit in flour and add to the Sweet Potato mixture. (Coating the fruit with flour helps to keep it from dropping to the bottom before the pudding is baked.)

9. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

10. Pour into a greased baking dish.

11. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Delicious served with hard sauce.

*You can find citron in most good candy shops.
**Toasted Walnuts: Cook walnuts in a skillet at medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a bit of vegetable oil before adding walnuts to skillet, if desired.
